        DAY 2: The Jig is Up

        Once again, I didn't finish this guy. I procrastinated all day & started so late that I didn't get to shade him or his environment at all. But, I'm trying, so that's something, lol. Thank you all so much for the support! That's one of many reasons I love it here. I may come back to this guy when I have time & do the shading, just because I really need to practice environments & clothing.

        Oops! I just realized that I posted the wrong picture - I fixed his right arm (I'd made it attach in the wrong spot). I'll post the updated photo tomorrow after I sleeeeeeeeppp. 🙂

          @Larissa-Brown-Marantz Thank you for being so forgiving of bad art! LOL The encouragement has definitely helped - I'm only on day two and I almost missed a day!

            @Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Ah, what a kind thing to say - thank you! I've definitely held up my progress by being hyper critical of myself. I'll remind myself what you said during those times 🙂

              I think it's great you are doing the challenge. I can say for experience that challenges work to get out of what ever you want to call where you are. Don't judge yourself or your drawings, they are there to help you out of the slump, don't call them good or bad, just see them as your lifeline to get out from where you are. I know it can be frustrating, but be nice to yourself.

                    I've come to the conclusion that I can't draw clothing (especially on animals) and I've gotten myself so frustrated that I'm calling it a night. No sketch tonight. 😞

                      That is an awesome idea. Great effort on the first one that you did. Not bad for a creative slump. Keep Going.
